On June 28, 1937, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
West Virginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court an information against the Land Chills Creamery, Inc., 
Buckhannon, W. Va., alleging shipment by said company in violation of the 
Food and Drugs Act on or about January 2, 1937, from the State of West Vir- 
ginia into the State of New York of a quantity of butter which was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product which contained 
less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter, 
which it purported to be.

and the court imposed a fine of $50.
